MATREEX

General project description

MATREEX aims to explore interactions between spatial complexity, in the form of fragmented clustered active planting, and species diversity (alpha and beta) in relation to growth, mortality and recruitment and the microclimatic conditions within and between plots to optimize forest restoration strategies. Integrating advanced monitoring technologies, this experiment proposes to develop practical, scalable reforestation strategies that support long-term ecological sustainability grounded in ecological theory. The experiment is part of ‘The Tree Diversity Network’ (TreeDivNet), a unique platform for research on the relation between tree species diversity and ecosystem functioning in major forest types around the world.
